The 29-year-old “Straw Dogs” actress blogged about the trip to Seoul, writing, “On our first day in Seoul, my fiancé, Michael Polish, and I venture out to discover Changdeokgung Palace. As soon as we enter, it is like magically being transported to a different world – this awe-inspiring, sprawling place was originally built in 1405.”

Kate and her director beau, 41, who met on the set of “Big Sur”, stepped out together publicly at a Coldplay concert in August 2011.
